7. If A Married Woman Is Sending Too Many Messages, It Sends A Red Flag

According to Biderman, "We know how a married woman typically behaves: She builds a profile. She peruses a few profiles. She sits back. So if someone signs up, posts a public photo and then sends out 25 message to all kinds of guys, that's a bad actor. We won't deliver those messages." So, uh, resist your urge to express interest, ladies.

Bottom line: Maybe just have a nice long wine-fueled conversation with your significant other about opening up your marriage honestly and with transparency, instead of suffering the anxiety of hacker leaks.
